- Several laboratory samples of the novel divalent metal ascorbate glycinate co-salt were prepared for use in demonstrating both matter of composition and comparative studies against both metal ascorbate and metal glycinate (i.e., zinc ascorbate and zinc glycinate).
- An aqueous divalent metal ascorbate glycinate co-salt is formed by combining anhydrous ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) and glycine (C2H5NO2) in a 1:1 molar ratio, and neutralizing the aqueous solution with 90-110% of a 1 molar divalent metal equivalence. The metal source is the metal, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide or a metal carbonate. Thus, for example, for a zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt, the source for the zinc would be a zinc, zinc oxide, zinc hydroxide or zinc carbonate. The divalent metal ascorbate glycinate co-salt when prepared has a molecular formula of MC8H9NO8 as shown below:

Equation 1 and by drying to a free-flowing powder inEquation 2. -
MO+C6H8O6(aq)+C2H5NO2(aq)→MC8H11NO8(aq)+H2O(I) Eq. 1: -
MC81H11NO8(aq)→MC8H11NO8.XH2O (Drying Step) Eq. 2: - As is known, the value of X in
Equation 2 above depends on the extent of drying of the co-salt during the drying step. - The divalent metal ascorbate glycinate co-salt is believed to have the following general structure:

- To demonstrate matter of composition and product superiority of the co-salts, classical chemistry methodology (assay), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were implemented.
- A. Lab Scale Preparation of Zinc Ascorbate Glycinate Co-Salt.
- A reaction mixture was prepared comprising 176.12 g (1 mol) anhydrous ascorbic acid and 75.01 g (1 mol) glycine dissolved in 1000 g of water. The mixture was heated to about 60-80° C. The resulting acid solution was neutralized with 81.4 g (1 mol) of zinc oxide and digested with agitation at about 60-80° C. until complete reaction was achieved (between 1-4 hours). The resulting reaction mass contained 314.56 g (1 mol) of zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand (metal:ascorbate:glycine) ratio of 1:1:1 remaining in solution. The reaction mass was filtered to remove any unreacted zinc oxide and other extraneous matter. The filtrate was dried to produce a free-flowing powder containing zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 and a moisture content of 0.0-20.0%.
- B. Pilot Plant Scale Preparation of Zinc Ascorbate Glycinate Co-Salt.
- A reaction mixture was prepared comprising 3.52 Kg (20 mol) anhydrous ascorbic acid and 1.5 Kg (20 mol) glycine dissolved in 20 Kg of water. The mixture was heated to about 60-80° C. The resulting acid solution was neutralized with 1.6 Kg (20 mol) of zinc oxide and digested with agitation at about 60-80° C. until complete reaction was achieved (between 1-4 hours). The resulting reaction mass contained 6.3 Kg (20 mol) of zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 remaining in solution. The reaction mass was filtered to remove any unreacted zinc oxide and other extraneous matter. The filtrate was dried to produce a free-flowing powder containing zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 and a moisture content of 0.0-20.0%.
- To assist in matter of composition and comparison, a dry blend was prepared by mixing 0.5 mole of zinc glycinate with 0.5 mole of zinc ascorbate. This sample will further be referred to as the “component dry blend” and will be used to help demonstrate the novel zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt's composition.
- Classical Chemistry Methodology
- Research samples of zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salts lab scale sample A and pilot scale sample B were prepared and analyzed for zinc content using EDTA titration and Eriochrome Black T (EBT) indicator solution. The water content of both samples was determined by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) so that the anhydrous zinc content could be calculated and compared to theoretical anhydrous magnesium content. The sample data shown in Table 2, below, shows the theoretical amount of zinc that is consistent with the zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt formula.

FIGS. 1-4 was employed to demonstrate the uniqueness of the zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt against zinc glycinate, zinc ascorbate and the “component dry blend” described above. Zinc Bis-glycinate (FIG. 1 ) shows strong absorbances in the fingerprint region of 1560, 1400, 1050, 700 cm−1 and distribution of strong absorbances between approximately 626 and 720 cm−1. - Zinc Ascorbate (
FIG. 2 ) has strong absorbances in the fingerprint region of 1600, 1500, 1110 and 1026 cm−1 and a distribution of weaker less defined absorbances between approximately 630 and 760 cm−1. - The “Component Dry Blend” (
FIG. 3 ) has strong absorbances in the fingerprint region of 1560, 1460, 1126 and 756 cm−1. Looking closer at its strong absorptions and peak shapes, one skilled in the art would discern that this is indeed a physical blend as both aspects of the independent spectra (FIGS. 1 and 2 ) are visible yet muted by each other. - The FT-IR spectrum for zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt samples A and B are shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 . The co-salts have strong yet weakly defined absorbances in the fingerprint region at 1540 and strong broadened absorbances at 1110 and 1030 cm−1, taking note that the sharp absorbances between 750-1350 cm−1 found inFIGS. 1-3 are either gone have been substantially broadened. - Examination of the FT-IR spectra of the “component dry blend” in
FIG. 3 and the zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salts inFIGS. 4 and 5 one skilled in the art will notice that they are substantially different, providing strong evidence that the co-salt is a unique entity and not a mere blend of components. - The unique nature of the zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt can be both demonstrated and differentiated from magnesium citrate tribasic and magnesium glycinate.

SEM imaging of zinc ascorbate shown inFIG. 7 shows a polymorphic type of crystallinity that is densely packed. - SEM imagery of zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt, shown in
FIG. 8 , demonstrates the amorphous nature of this product. One skilled in the art will also realize the porous nature of the solids. - Lack of either the porous polycrystalline crystallites found in zinc ascorbate or rod type crystallites found in zinc bis-glycinate demonstrate that this co-salt is not a mere co-precipitated blend of zinc ascorbate and zinc bis-glycinate, but a unique chemical entity or compound.
- As evidenced from Thermogravimetric Analysis and Particle Morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy, zinc bis-glycinate and zinc ascorbate are relatively high crystalline materials and as such have very distinct and reproducible XRD patterns as shown in
FIGS. 9 and 10 . The baseline of the zinc ascorbate XRD pattern is higher and gives less defined theta signals due to the polymorphic nature of the crystals. - The “component dry blend” described above displays distinct high crystalline XRD patterns consistent with both zinc bis-glycinate and zinc ascorbate as shown in
FIG. 11 . - Due to the amorphous nature of zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt as evidenced from Particle Morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy, this compound does not show any degree of crystallinity by XRD as shown in
FIGS. 12 and 13 . The fact that the “component dry blend” shows both zinc bis-glycinate and zinc ascorbate theta signals and the zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt does not, provides strong evidence that the zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt is a unique entity and not a mere blend of components. - It was discovered that zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt was soluble in acetone, but zinc ascorbate, zinc bisglycinate and glycine were not. This is further evidence that zinc ascorbate glycinate has distinct properties from zinc ascorbate, zinc bisglycinate and glycine. Zinc ascorbate glycinate co-salt is a unique compound and not a mixture of bi-products or raw materials.
- A typical lab scale (1 mol scale) preparation of calcium ascorbate glycinate co-salt was prepared as follows: A reaction mixture was prepared comprising 176.12 g (1 mol) anhydrous ascorbic acid and 75.01 g (1 mol) glycine dissolved in 1000 g of water. The mixture was heated to 60-80° C. The resulting acid solution was neutralized with 75.6 g (1 mol) of ultra-pure calcium hydroxide (to avoid any decomposition of ascorbic acid due to trace iron or copper impurities) and digested with agitation at 60-80° C. until complete reaction was achieved, between 1-4 hours. The resulting reaction mass contained 289.25 g (1 mol) of calcium ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 remaining in solution. The reaction mass was filtered to remove any unreacted calcium hydroxide and other extraneous matter. The filtrate was dried to produce a free-flowing beige to yellow powder containing calcium ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 and a moisture content of 0.0-20.0%.
- Table 3 below shows analytical data for the calcium ascorbate glycinate produced above, and
FIG. 14 shows FT-IR spectra comparisons for the calcium ascorbate glycinate co-salt vs. calcium ascorbate, calcium bisglycinate and a 1:1 dry mix of calcium ascorbate and calcium bisglycinate.FIGS. 15A-D show XRD patterns of the calcium ascorbate glycinate co-salt vs. calcium ascorbate, calcium bisglycinate and a 1:1 dry mix of calcium ascorbate and calcium bisglycinate. -

FIG. 14 shows the FT-IR comparisons of Calcium Ascorbate Glycinate co-salt (line 4), calcium ascorbate (line 2), calcium bisglycinate (line 3) and a 1:1 dry mix of calcium ascorbate and calcium bisglycinate (line 1). As seen, the co-salt produces an FT-IR spectrum different from calcium ascorbate, calcium glycinate, and 1:1 mix of calcium ascorbate and calcium glycinate.FIGS. 15A-D show XRD patterns for Calcium Ascorbate Glycinate co-salt, calcium ascorbate, calcium bisglycinate and a 1:1 dry mix of calcium ascorbate and calcium bisglycinate, respectively. Again, as seen, the XRD pattern for the co-salt is different from the XRD patterns for calcium ascorbate, calcium glycinate, and 1:1 mix of calcium ascorbate and calcium glycinate. These comparisons show that the co-salt is a unique compound and not a mixture of bi-products or raw materials. - A typical lab scale (1 mol scale) preparation of magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt follows: A reaction mixture was prepared comprising 176.12 g (1 mol) anhydrous ascorbic acid and 75.01 g (1 mol) glycine dissolved in 1000 g of water. The mixture was heated to 60-80° C. The resulting acid solution was neutralized with 41.1 g (1 mol) of ultra-pure magnesium oxide (to avoid any decomposition of ascorbic acid due to trace iron or copper impurities) and digested with agitation at 60-80° C. until complete reaction was achieved between 1-4 hours. The resulting reaction mass contained 273.48 g of magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 remaining in solution. The reaction mass was filtered to remove any unreacted magnesium oxide and other extraneous matter. The filtrate was dried to produce a free-flowing yellow to butterscotch colored powder containing magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt having a metal to ligand ratio of 1:1:1 and a moisture content of 0.0-20.0%.
- Table 4 below shows analytical data for magnesium ascorbate glycinate.
FIG. 16 shows FT-IR spectra comparing magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt vs. magnesium ascorbate, magnesium bisglycinate and a 1:1 dry mix of magnesium ascorbate and magnesium bisglycinate.FIGS. 17A-D show XRD patterns of magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt vs. magnesium ascorbate, magnesium bisglycinate and a 1:1 dry mix of magnesium ascorbate and magnesium bisglycinate. -

FIG. 16 shows the FT-IR spectra comparisons of magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt (line 6), Magnesium ascorbate (line 7), Magnesium bisglycinate (line 8) and a 1:1 dry mix of magnesium ascorbate and calcium bisglycinate (line 5). As seen, the co-salt produces an FT-IR spectrum different from magnesium ascorbate, magnesium glycinate, and 1:1 mix of magnesium ascorbate and magnesium glycinate.FIGS. 17A-D show XRD patterns for magnesium ascorbate glycinate co-salt, magnesium ascorbate, magnesium bisglycinate, and a 1:1 dry mix of Magnesium ascorbate and Magnesium bisglycinate, respectively. Again, as seen, the XRD pattern for the co-salt is different from the XRD patterns for magnesium ascorbate, magnesium glycinate, and 1:1 mix of magnesium ascorbate and magnesium glycinate. These comparisons show that the co-salt is a unique compound and not a mixture of bi-products or raw materials. - In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects and advantages of the present invention have been achieved and other advantageous results have been obtained.
- As various changes could be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
